BACKGROUND:

The city removed an existing skate park that was located within Riverton City Park, at 1452 West 12600

South. A skate park committee is looking at the possibility of adding one or more skate park(s) in various

locations within the city, Centennial Park, Main Park and Margeret Park; however, for now, the main park

location is the preferred location. The anticipated overall budget will be $750,000 dollars.

Centennial Park Location: Approximately 8,000 SF placed on the east side of the parking lot on 13010

south. The city may expand that parking lot, extending it to the east. For that reason, a buffer was left

for that. Design around the trees, trees are to remain. See attached.

Main Park Location: Using the existing basketball concrete as the flat area of the skatepark, approximately

7,000 SF. Adding obstacles, such as rails, ramps, bowls ledges, etc. on top of the existing concrete and/or

within the additional 5,000 SF around the existing concrete. Design around the trees, trees are to remain.

See attached.

Margaret Park Location: Approximately 3,000 SF placed within the detention pond area. The detention

pond will still need to remain as a detention pond. Engineering will be required in order to make this

work. See attached.
